  • Never stop moving forward | BREAK Method™ Part 5
    Oct 7 2025

    Welcome to the powerful conclusion of the BREAK Method series! In this final episode, we explore the most crucial element of transformation: KEEP GOING. No matter what. No matter who. No matter when.

    In This Episode:

    ✅ Why the BREAK Method is a continuous cycle, not a one-time fix

    ✅ How to keep moving forward when family, friends, or even your own body tells you to stop

    ✅ The truth about being told you're "doing too much" (spoiler: worry about your own plate!)

    ✅ Why the people who try to stop you are actually part of God's plan

    ✅ Understanding that rest isn't weakness—it's strength and part of your design

    ✅ How to trust the pull from the universe over the opinions of others


    Real Talk: At 38, I've learned that "doing too much" is just who I am - and that's perfectly okay. You're designed exactly as you're meant to be. Whether your journey is crossing paths with mine or running parallel, the message is the same: KEEP GOING.


    The BREAK Method cycles through:


    Becoming Aware

    Recognizing & Replacing

    Establishing routines

    Action (putting in the work)

    Keep Going (returning to B and starting again)


    This isn't a destination—it's a journey. You'll cycle through these steps over and over as new awareness comes, as life changes, as you evolve. And that's exactly how it should be.


    I'm Proud of You. Not everyone actively works on themselves. People get stuck. People get comfortable. But not you. You're here, doing the work, and things are going to get SO GOOD for you.



    This may be the end of the BREAK series, but our journey together continues. We manifested each other for a reason. Keep going—I believe in you! 💫

  • The most difficult and most POWERFUL step | BREAK Method™ Part 4
    Sep 30 2025

    In this powerful fourth installment of the BREAK Method series, we dive deep into the ACTION step - where real transformation happens. After becoming aware, recognizing & replacing habits, and then establishing structure, now comes the crucial step: actually doing the work 💪🏽

    **Key Takeaways:**


    ✅ Why the 66-day habit formation period is just the beginning (and why you might need 120+ days)

    ✅ How to navigate interruptions and setbacks while staying committed to your journey

    ✅ The hard truth: nobody will put in the effort for you, and why that’s actually empowering

    ✅ Practical strategies like setting phone reminders to support your growth

    ✅ What to expect when you start losing people during your transformation (and why better connections are coming)

    ✅ How mental exhaustion during change is a sign you’re doing it right


    This episode is a real talk reminder that prioritizing yourself is bare minimum. If you don’t make space for you, why should anyone else? Your gifts and blessings can’t benefit the world if you’re not taking care of yourself first.


    🎤 Coming Up: Join me at the Holistic Health and Healing Expo at Cherry Hill Doubletree by Hilton in New Jersey on October 12th at 3:30 PM! (Currently sold out with a waitlist)


    Remember: You’re always on the way to your highest, most joyful, most successful timeline ✨


    From Grammy collaborations to rock bottom to building multiple businesses - I’ve been where you are. I know what it’s like to know better but not do better. And I’m going to show you how to bridge that gap.

    🎯 Ready for real transformation? Subscribe and hit the bell - we’re just getting started.

    BREAK Method Series: Episode 3 - ESTABLISH Your New Happy Habits

    Hey beautiful! It’s time to get to WORK, honey! This is the third episode in my BREAK Method series, and we’re diving into the “E” - ESTABLISH - where the magic really starts happening.


    What We’re Talking About:


    ✅ The REAL truth about habit formation - it takes 66 days, not what they tell you out there

    ✅ How to implement everything from your spiritual awakening, meditations, vision boards, and all those YouTube videos you’ve been watching

    ✅ Why writing things down literally creates your reality

    ✅ My personal story about manifesting with my husband and how things unfolded (not always how you expect!)

    ✅ Why those “setbacks” are actually still on the way to your goal




    ✨✨Workshop Update:✨✨

    My Quantum Leap Workshop on October 12th in Cherry Hill is SOLD OUT! But get on that waitlist because people might cancel or not show up.


    Remember: Start from where YOU are with what YOU have available. Allow some flexibility because storms come, honey. Sometimes you need to rest and assess what’s going on.


    Next week: ACTION (the “A” in BREAK)


    I love that you spend time with me here. Let’s keep growing together! 💫


    From Grammy collaborations to rock bottom to building multiple businesses - I’ve been where you are. I know what it’s like to know better but not do better. And I’m going to show you how to bridge that gap.

  • You’re ready to change your Self & get what you want | BREAK Method™ Pt 2
    Sep 16 2025

    Recognize & Replace: The Smart Way to Change Habits (Hint: Don’t Fight the Trigger)

    Most people try to eliminate bad habits by using willpower to fight the urge. That’s why most people fail.

    In this episode, I break down the “R” in my BREAK Method - Recognize & Replace - and why habit replacement succeeds where elimination fails.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why your brain creates habit loops and why fighting them backfires

    • How to identify what emotional need your destructive habit is actually meeting

    • My personal example of replacing snacks with success

    • The difference between healthy replacement habits and just swapping addictions

    • How to use your existing triggers as cues for better choices instead of battling them

    This isn’t about white-knuckling your way through change. It’s about working with your brain’s natural wiring instead of against it.

    If you’ve tried to “just stop” a habit and failed, this episode explains why willpower isn’t enough and gives you a smarter approach that actually works.

  • It’s time to get what you want and deserve | BREAK Method™ Pt 1
    Sep 9 2025

    Stop lying to yourself. It’s time to get real about what’s actually sabotaging your life.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the first step of my signature BREAK method - Become Aware. This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything’s fine. This is about that brutal honesty moment where you finally admit what habits are keeping you stuck.

    **What You’ll Learn:**

    ✅ Why awareness without action is just expensive therapy

    ✅ The difference between knowing you have a problem and actually admitting it

    ✅ How to identify the habits that are secretly sabotaging your success

    ✅ Why most people stay stuck in denial (and how to break free)

    ✅ The exact questions to ask yourself to uncover your blind spots

    **From Grammy collaborations to rock bottom to building multiple businesses** - I’ve been where you are. I know what it’s like to know better but not do better. And I’m going to show you how to bridge that gap.


    This is episode 1 of my 5-part BREAK Method series. If you’re tired of knowing what to do but not actually doing it, this series will change everything.

  • 5 Ways to Know You're in Survival Mode (and How to Get Out)
    Aug 5 2025

    In this raw and honest episode of the "Becoming Herself" podcast, I'm diving into a topic we all face: survival mode. It's that feeling of being stuck on a treadmill of trying and grinding, without a sense of progress or joy. It's often rooted in our conditioning and past traumas, and it keeps us from truly thriving.

    I'm sharing five powerful ways to know if you're in survival mode, along with a bonus insight that could be the key to reclaiming your personal power.


    In this episode, we'll cover:

    • Why the second voice in your head is your brain, not your intuition, and how it keeps you from taking action.

    • The danger of saying "I'm fine" when you're not, and how emotional suppression keeps you stuck in a loop of anger and frustration.

    • How negative inner self-talk is a learned behavior that reinforces past trauma.

    • The surprising link between avoiding joy and staying in a mindset of lack.

    • Why keeping toxic people around is a self-sabotaging habit.

    • Bonus: The single biggest thing keeping you in survival mode.



    Ready to make the shift? You're not alone. I talk about all of this in my book, Happy Habits, and my FOCUS Framework helps you get in tune with yourself right now.

  • When You're Exhausted & Want To Quit: The Secret To KEEP GOING (No Applause Needed)
    Jul 29 2025

    Are you feeling utterly exhausted, like you've been grinding relentlessly with no return on your effort? You're doing, trying, creating, producing, but it feels like crickets? This episode is for you.

    In this raw and impromptu message, I share powerful insights from my own journey through periods of intense discipline without applause, isolation , and the feeling of failure even when moving forward. We uncover why those who once cheered you on might disappear, and why that's a crucial part of your authentic transformation.


    Discover why true happiness and breakthrough don't come from external validation, but from within. Learn how to process difficult emotions physically to clear your mind and receive vital guidance. This is about understanding the "level up-ness" that feels like an attack, and finding the fuel to keep going, one day at a time.



    In this episode, you'll learn:

    * Why finding discipline without applause is essential for your growth.



    * The profound truth that happiness and fulfillment start internally, not from external circumstances.



    * How to use physical movement to process emotions and gain clarity.



    * Why periods of intense effort and perceived stagnation are often awakenings to your next level.



    * Practical ways to build self-trust and confidence when external validation is scarce.

  • Quit or Go Harder? How to Find Your Inner Strength When You're Exhausted | Becoming Herself
    Jul 22 2025

    Are you feeling exhausted and at the point where it's either quit or go harder? I've been there, and I know that deep, soulful tiredness that makes you want to throw in the towel. But what if that feeling is actually a sign you're right on the cusp of a breakthrough?

    In this powerful episode, I share a crucial truth: true happiness and inner strength don't come from external circumstances or other people; they come from within YOU. It's about learning to access that feeling regardless of what's happening around you, even when you're at rock bottom.

    This journey of finding your inner self is especially vital for women, who often lose ourselves in doing for others. It's time to find that spark that gets you up out of bed, one step at a time, and reclaim your joy just for the sake of being happy.

    Key Takeaways from this episode:

    • Why "finito" moments are often just a resting or waiting period for your blessings to catch up.
    • The power of finding happiness internally, without relying on external validation or circumstances.
    • The importance of setting aside time "just for you" and discovering personal hobbies that nourish your spirit.
    • Understanding that God has a plan for you, and sometimes, you just need to keep doing the things that get you up.

    If you're ready to embrace your authentic self, overcome emotional challenges, and cultivate happy habits for a spiritual awakening, I have so much more to share with you.
